Sinningia regina, Sprague (Gesneria Regina, Hort.). Handsome plant about 9 in. high: lvs. broad-ovate with auriculate-cordate base and acutish apex, 4-8 in. long, somewhat velutinous above and glabrous beneath, white-veined, crenate: fls. pale violet, drooping, long-stalked, 4-6 together from the axils, and "as two successive pairs of leaves are usually close together on the stem, the effect is that of two many-flowered whorls, and is very fine." Brazil. G.C. III. 36:201. B.M.8182. Gt. 53, p. 525. G.W. 9, p. 277. A handsome plant, with long flowering period. Var. hybrida, Hort., is a garden hybrid with much larger fls. Var. grandiflora, Hort., is advertised, the fls. "several times larger than the type, and well displayed above the handsome dark green and purplish red foliage." CH
